Is there one?

the Roc and Aviar.

...and the teebird. If I could only have 3 molds those would be the three.

A putter, a stable midrange, and a stable driver. There are so many great discs to choose from and everybody has different preferences. :) Personally, I'd go with a Wizard putter, a Zbuzz, and an Orc.

... or a Wasp and Magnet, Challenger or Wizard

If only one disc it would have to be a Roc. If three, I'd bring along my Aviar and Orc.

Gotta go with the masses on this one - a Roc. For tight fairways and improved accuracy on open approaches, having a disc that flies as close to straight as possible with no pronounced fade at the end of its flight is very difficult to achieve with a driver. Some other mid-range discs can accomplish this, but usually not as consistently well as a Roc.

All you need are a Wizard putter and a Ram!!

D-Wasp. Its all you need.

Roc or Wasp

whichever one you prefer.

Six months ago, I would have said a Roc. Now, however, I'm leaning more and more toward the Champion Cobra. I like the Cobra for all the same reasons as the Roc, except that I can put my Cobra about 60-80 ft. farther than a Roc.

a t-bird (TL)
a roc
a putter
a minin
a bag of seeds
thats all

I would still say a Roc, but if you want a new must have -- the ORC.

Wynne

Z XS. Sidearm flick dead straight 200 ft minimal fade every time. Put some hyzer and some force on it and it goes a mile. Will hold an annie line if seasoned a little.

One disc round:
XS or MRV
Two disc round XS and Aviar.
Three disc round XS, MRV, and Aviar.
Four disc round Beast, XS, MRV, and Aviar.

I'd have to say a stable Avair, beat Roc, and an Orc

Pluto Platter

At Sedgley, all you need is a cryZtal Z Challenger :D

HOW ABOUT THE PREVERTEBRAL DISCS LOCATED IN THE SPINUS PROCESSES?

Nah, you dont need those....

I would take along my viking, If I could only have 1 disc. and then a rhyno. thats pretty much all I use anyways :D

If you want to know what the best disc is, there is no best disc. There are many popular discs, but everyones throw is different and everyone has different hands. Just throw as many different discs as you can. Ask if you can try discs at your course, most people will be glad to let you try their discs! Once you find some discs that work for <font color="red"> YOU</font> then get a few and practice!!

Hey there, DiscGraham...

Lay off of the caffeine a little, dude... nobody's REALLY trying to tell anyone what to throw in here. If you read between the lines, this is just a bunch of us talking about what our favorite discs are - nothing more.

Now where was I?? Oh yeah.... I say burn all your existing plastic and throw only Champion Cobras from now on!!! :D

INNOVA= Roc Aviar Discraft= Challenger and Wasp

Banshee, photon wasp, aviar, thats all you need

Jaguar thats the only disc you need, you can putt it, drive it, roll it a mile, and its big enough that a bad putter like me can even hit a chain (not that it ever goes in)

Cyclone 2
Roc

you're set

: ) :

Hey BamBam,

I'm jsut trying to tell the guy to decide by throwing discs rather than asking people what they think are the best discs. As you can see, everyone has their own tastes. I know that alot of people like to throw the latest and greatest, and thats great. I also know that alot of people like to stick to the classics and thats great too. My point is that everyone has different tastes, and if you force yourself to fall into a particular mold, you may be depriving yourself.

p.s. I LIKE COFFEE!!

By the way, i would probably rock the Wizard (or maybe an XD)

For drives, a JK Valkyrie is awesome. I can do anything with it.

Matt

Z Cryztal Challenger!!!!!!!!!

Roc. That is so easy.

whatever ANYONES style is, i think everyone needs to at least give a Roc a try, in my mind that and the TeeBird are the greatest discs ever made

it was more of what is your must have...

just seein what everyones goto disc is

The discs that I rely on are the Orc, Teebird and Roc. You can even putt well with the Roc if you're in a pickle, so that's certainly a plus for those one-disc-only rounds at tournaments.

Spider.

The four must have discs IMO:
Aviar- DX
Roc- KC or CE
Firebird- Champ or CE
Valk- Champ or CE

Roc
If you want one each of long, mid, and short:
Teebird, Roc, and Aviar

Pluto Platter



that could be an Expensive round :eek:

If you are new, you want stuff that is stable to slightly understable.

Putter-any putter you like...you have to get a feel for one. Once you find one, try to find the same exact mold, same exact weight and go practice.

Midrange-Buzzz, Wasp, Shark, Roc

Drivers-Tbird, Leopard, JLS, valkyrie When you start flipping those consistantly, then move up to the orc, qjls, or the beast

I thought the answer to this question would just be informing this guy of a disc(s) that he should definately check out.

If that's the case, I'd say you definately need to check a buzzz out. Also, yes, the Cryztal challengers are the best putters I've ever held. The plastic is alot grippier than the standard Z line challenger, and it's a great mid range as well. Not quite as soft as some prefer, but I feel safer putting with a hard challenger than I do with a gooey Aviar or Omega SS.


If you're looking for something to throw nice and hard, and have great results flipping over, as well as a great overhand disc, check out a Monster.

I was playing a round with my daughter last week and she thought she was being cute and took my Ram out of my bag while I wasn't looking. I had to explain to her that "if you're going to steal any of my discs, DON'T TAKE THIS ONE!"

Ram, it even makes a great putter on those windy days.

ROC ROC ROC

KC'S ARE THE BOMB! Even the 11x's

Overstable Driver - Speed Demon
Stable Driver - Spirit
Midrange - Scout
Putt and Approach - Wizard

Although my opinion is probably biased, but Gateway plastic is Shaweet!!

GATEWAY!!!!!!!

They do have some good molds....the scout and speed demon is a nice disc. I heard the speed demon is coming out in crystal plastic :cool:

Demon = dependable.
They will actually 'glide' when seasoned.

Yeah demons are sweet when they are old. Its probably a good thing that they fly like crap when they are new...most people will put it down before they break it in. I've got one that is broken in and it took 6 months before I even saw the glide. Now its a year and a half old and its super straight and floaty. I have no problem throwing this thing 325 but I can't throw a Roc over 280 or so.

I also threw an 86 softie for the first time yesterday. That is a sweet putter. It goes exactly where you putt it and it fades dead straight! Its like throwing a lid!

the buzzzz!!!!

Roc's of course! DX are my favorites, the only DX disc I throw on a regular basis.

Orc's are awesome discs as are TeeBirds.

Hell, everything in my bag (click the link in my sig) are must have discs for me! That's why that's all I throw.

Z-Xtreme.....'nuf said!

One that does what you want it to do every time you throw it. Could be ANY DISC FOR ANYONE.

You gotta catch a BUZZZ though IMO :D

one disc round: breeze
two disc round: breeze, crush
three disc round: breeze, crush, magnet
four disc round: there's no such thing

GATEWAY!!!!!!!

They do have some good molds....the scout and speed demon is a nice disc. I heard the speed demon is coming out in crystal plastic :cool:



Spirits are already being run in Candy like plastic, more molds to come!!

new lost&found list for moody's pond.


go to the lost&found thread to see if your MUST HAVE DISC IS THERE. :D

A must have disc in my bag is a 174 CE TL TeeBird. Distance and Accuracy all in one disc.

PT Woods
# 20431

First Run Candy Spider!!!
and my new favorite distance driver - the CRUSH.
Sometimes it is hard to make the putt when I fly past the 420 ft holes, but that is OK.

Six months ago, I would have said a Roc. Now, however, I'm leaning more and more toward the Champion Cobra. I like the Cobra for all the same reasons as the Roc, except that I can put my Cobra about 60-80 ft. farther than a Roc.



Its interesting that you mention this. My first midrange was a DX Cobra. I went to an MRV because of the Z plastic but now that the Cobra is in Candy I am using it again. I really like this disc for straight up midrange shots and it glides for ever. I have also found that the buzz has the same flight characteristics but of course at $4.00 more on average.

I know it's a sin but I've never thrown a ROC. How does it compare to the Cobra? My impression has always been that it flies more overstable, like the MRV.

Just go try one. Let us know.

What is a Cobra? :D

Roc is more overstable than the Cobra. To me the Cobra can't take much wind in the face whereas the Roc can't take some slight wind(up to 15mph). Also, I think the Buzz is a tad bit more overstable than the cobra as well.

Cobra is also faster than a Roc.

The Buzz is about the same speed as a Cobra, but requires much more effort to fly as far. In other words is has much less glide. I can say that the ZBuzz (178g) holds its line in the wind better than any versatile midrange I've ever thrown.

Cobra is also faster than a Roc.


Then I need a CobraRoc :D

Z-wasp

Cobra is also faster than a Roc.


Then I need a CobraRoc :D



The Cobra being faster isn't a good thing, for my preference.

The Champion Viking is a great disc. I got a red one a while ago and it is pretty understable. It has been a great turnover disc as it seems to hold the anhyzer line pretty consistently across wind conditions and is the most predictable disc of this type I've ever thrown. That being said, if thrown flat it turns, so it is not a good straight distance driver. A week ago I bought a blue Viking of the same weight (173g) and it is a totally different disc. It is straight as straight can be and almost as long as my Orcs. Today I threw it on a hole that is 343' and fairly straight, but it is wooded along the left side of the fairway so you have to throw hyzer. I messed up my release and threw the disc straight off the tee right at the jungle. Somehow it found its way through unimpeded and came to rest two feet from the pin. This was with a 5-10mph headwind. Simply put, this is the straightest candy disc I have ever thrown, and I've thrown them all(with the exception of the CFR glow TL).

well, you need to try the GLO TL. It is straighter. hehe

well, you need to try the GLO TL. It is straighter. hehe


Good call on the Glow TL Kid........... :D:D

Z-BUZZZ......... can't live without it...... I have a back up in case if i lose mine current BUZZZ!!!!!! :D

Z-BUZZZ......... can't live without it...... I have a back up in case if i lose mine current BUZZZ!!!!!! :D


What weight's you throw'n ?

I started with a 176 gram cobra back in 1995 and still have that disc in my bag. Best disc ever. Stayed away from rocs until last year. As much as I love my roc, my cobra will always be unreplaceable. If I only had 1 disc the rest of my life it would be the cobra. It glides better than a roc, and it can roll, hyzer, anhyzer, s curve better than any other disc out there.

The Buzz is about the same speed as a Cobra, but requires much more effort to fly as far. In other words is has much less glide. I can say that the ZBuzz (178g) holds its line in the wind better than any versatile midrange I've ever thrown.



While I agree about the holding its line better than anything else part, I strongly disagree with it having less glide or speed than a Cobra.

I threw a cobra for quite awhile, and agree its a great disc (especially in candy), but I could never throw one as far or as fast as I throw my Buzzz's.

I hit a 276' hole this morning with an X-Buzzz, on a wide sweeping annie that had to travel a lot more than 276' to splash out of the chains like it did. Never could've done that with a Cobra, although I could've thrown the annie for a good birdie putt with it.

The Buzzz is da shizzz.

The Champion Viking is a great disc. I got a red one a while ago and it is pretty understable. ... A week ago I bought a blue Viking of the same weight (173g) and it is a totally different disc. It is straight as straight can be and almost as long as my Orcs.



Well, its nice to know its not just me. I had the exact same experience w/ the viking. I got a red one, it was way too flippy. I won a blue one at a tournament, and Its straight and I love it. Good thing i won it at a tournament, because i certainly wasn't going to buy another one after my first experience with the viking. At this point, its probably my most consistently long disc. I can throw both my flash and my orc farther if i throw them really well, but if i threw all three of them not quite perfect, the viking would travel the farthest, and closest to its "perfect" (at least as close to perfect as i'm able to get right now) distance. in other words, its my most forgiving long driver. Have since sold the red one to a friend because it was out of control flippy for me.

I have three yellow vikings...nice and overstable

Ive aced a 350 foot hole with a cobra. I cant see a buzz ever flying that far. Cobras have the best glide of any disc in my opinion. And they are sooo contolable, that is if you know how to throw

This doesn't need to run into a this versus that argument.
That said, Orcs, TeeBirds, Rocs as well as Wizards are must haves.

Wizards are silk!!

That said, Orcs, TeeBirds, Rocs as well as Wizards are must haves.



Agreed. With the exception of two discs you just listed my whole bag.

WizHARD!

Mmmmm...

That is my whole bag ;). Actually, a carry around a Banshee for specialty shots, it's gotten me out of trouble more than once.

Firebird, Teebird, Roc, Wizard

Roc ... or I guess some other sort of mid-range, but the Roc is sooo much more than a mid-range disc ... it's a way of life. Sorry .. I love my Roc's :cool:

Spider. CE if you can find one.

What does a CE Spider do that other mid-range discs can't?

Any disc that goes in the chains is a must have disc. :DThat being said, an accurate distance driver can be a "make or break" disc. I use vikings; and aviars for the former statement.

What does a CE Spider do that other mid-range discs can't?



Skip like a mutha.

demon puts all midranges to shame as a skipper.


UV CHALLENGER!!!!!!!!!! WHOA!!!!

What does a CE Spider do that other mid-range discs can't?



Skip like a mutha.



Of the throws you make with a CE Spider, how often (what percentage) do you want it to 'skip like a mutha' and how often is that skip unwanted and takes you further away from the polehole?

The Storm.... use it , then hit a tree.....

What does a CE Spider do that other mid-range discs can't?


Hyser. Anhyser. Flat. Backhand. Flik. Thumber. Tomahawk. Straight. Right. Left. A midrange that works for me.

10x KC Aviar will always be in my bag. For me, it's the must-have choice from 270' to 1'. You could par every hole with just that disc.

Orc, Roc, but especially X-Puttr

That's right, the X-Puttr. I have more confidence in this disc than any other.

BUZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz :D

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....................must have disc.
How about a Chrome Aviar ? Or a Blown Glass Orc ?
24 Karat Viper ? :D


I actually talked with a guy at Borderlands spring fling who told me about someone who was lathing aluminum drivers.
Could be real fun.

I have to have my t-bird. I got it about a month ago and now I want a whole box. But the absolute must have disc is always the next one I'm gonna buy. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the real must have disc is a DGWC trophy disc? :D

SUPER PUPPY!!! 'nuff said.

More like THREE, is varing stages of flippiness, then there is it's longer brother the Orginal Peach ROC....must have!

DX Avair

a roc of course but i like overstable drivers to learn with though

teebird, firebird, roc, pro gremlin, aviar.

Blaze...one of the MOST under rated discs on the market for sure.

DX Valk
10X roc
9X Aviar

If you feel like spending more on discs than on entry fees...why throw obsolete plastic that costs THAT much.

computers become obsolete, not discs
it doesn't cost anything if you already have them

Chris, as a sponsored Gateway player, do you even have to pay for discs?

it doesn't cost anything if you already have them



True, I just thought this was like a must have shopping list for someone...but you have a point.

why throw obsolete plastic that costs THAT much.


so you're saying a 10X kc roc is obsolete? there aren't many discs in my bag that i trust MORE than my 10X roc. granted, i don't throw it if there's a big tree in the middle of the flight path (since i'd much rather beat up my z wasp or q sentinel), but if ever there was a go-to disc it's gotta be an old roc. by the way, what is this blaze you speak of? what other disc would you liken it to?

D-Wasp. Its all you need.



Now I know where you went wrong with your game :o:D

Q-JLS dont need to say any more then that :D

1st Run Z Wasp and it's younger brother the 1st Run Z Buzz

I know it's a sin but I've never thrown a ROC. How does it compare to the Cobra? My impression has always been that it flies more overstable, like the MRV.



Near the end of last summer (I started last April) I realized that I couldn't throw slow, floaty midranges, like the Roc and MRV, so I decided to get that figured out. I got a DX Roc and Elite-X MRV and compared the two. I found that once I was able to get them to fly right they both had pretty similar flight patterns. If you're just looking for a general description I think it would be safe to say they pretty much fly the same. I'm sure someone who's a Roc and/or a MRV expert would have a big list of differences, but I don't think any of them would be that large. They have pretty similar speed and glide and about the same stability.

I haven't thrown a Champion Cobra, but if they're anything like a E-Element (I've heard they are) then the Roc is slower and more overstable to start out with, IMHO. Thrown so they fly straight, the fade comes pretty late in the flight, but when new they do fight pretty hard to flex out of any throw that's not intended to be an anhyzer.

I don't know if it's really a "must have" but I've really been appreciating the E-Element lately. Not only is is a solid, straight midrange, but it also works well for those 15' putts where you miss with your putter and grab the closest disc and throw it in to prove to yourself that you can make the shot. ;)

ROC

Special Blend Roc.

I think of the Blaze as a faster sentinel. The "E" does not beat up at all and the "s" becomes straight after a good beating.

gotta have a Starfire

Rhyno/Demon G5i - depending on the wind...

Recently the monster has been taking the place of the ROC's... yeah, sounds retarded I know, but I'm far more accurate with the near flat overhand tomahawk throw that skips/skids to within 5-10 ft. No I can't sink it with that throw, but just about any midrange approach for me is monster material. It was purely my nightgolf, goof around shot, but its developed into the biggest tool in my bag.

And the spikehyzers! Oh man.

pray that you don't encounter a course with a low ceiling and/or tight fairways/alleys, because your tomahawk will become useless faster than you can learn to re-throw your straight mid-ranges. my advice to anyone trying to improve their mid-/short game would be practice, NOT to substitute that part of the game with something like a tomahawk, it can only get you in trouble when not at a course like your home course. just my opinion.

Flat-top Z-Buzzz

There is nothing you cannot do with that disc.

Thats why I have 12 back up 1st Run Flat Top Z BUZZZs in differing weights :D Mostly 177-178 and 172-174 :D

Ill NEVER RUN OUT :D:D:D

Now its time to stock up on DGLO First Run D BUZZZs. Anyone got some they want to trade???

I disagree.
the over hand "slider' has saved me more pars from off the fairway than I care to count, and all we have is tight faiways with low ceilings. I prefer a beat to death XD, but have adjusted to just using my 10X aviar.

Id have to say the Tsunami and the Challenger are must haves as well.

I have been putting with the Supercolor Challenger for about a week now. I really like it. It has just a perfect grip and is very stable. It is awesome!

What is a "supercolor" challenger?

One of the new style(of stamps) discs that has a full color stamp all the way around the top of the disc.

Best shot in my game might be the low straight midrange shot. 230-270' I can just throw a MRV/Buzz/Wasp real low and straight. Comes from playing a real tight wooded course with holes that MAKE you throw a perfectly straight shot. Getting confidence with this shot can help you on almost every course.

I agree completely, however the throw is for low canopy shots, as it never gets high enough to bother the tree branches, it's more of a skip/slip shot... and yes, it's nothing to learn BEFORE you learn midrange, or to use on alley shots.

I have been putting with the Supercolor Challenger for about a week now. I really like it. It has just a perfect grip and is very stable. It is awesome!



How soon did it become grippy? The supercolor seemed slick at first, but i noticed Coda's (before he went AWOL) were nice n grippy too.

I guess our grip standards are different. I loved the way mine felt as soon as I got it. :confused:

a disc that wil never leave my bag is the Z-MRV and the Buzz. They are almost always interchangable but when I throw the buzz it seems to float a lot more which makes its landing more managable

Special Blend Roc.



I second that. This disc in the short time it's been out has become my "go to" disc in about every situation.
